    The pseudo-revolution in Libya and the Degenerate “Left”, PART I : The pseudo-revolution in Libya, TAKIS FOTOPOULOS The International Journal of INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY , Vol. 7, No. 1 (Winter-Spring 2011) The pseudo-revolution in Libya and the Degenerate “Left” TAKIS FOTOPOULOS PART I : The pseudo-revolution in Libya ...also read Part II: The role of the degenerate "Left" 1. Introduction To avoid any misconceptions or deliberate distortions of the stand taken by this paper (there have already been accusations by what I call the present degenerate “Left” — statist and libertarian alike — that I am a “pro-Caddafist,” a “plot theorist,” a “supporter of dictatorial regimes,” etc., particularly since I was also against the transnational elite’s[1] criminal attacks on Yugoslavia, [2] Afghanistan [3] and Iraq [4] ), I think it is necessary to state, explicitly and in advance, the principles guiding this paper. The reader will, then, have a clear opportunity to assess its conclusions against these principles and draw his/her own conclusions. Basic principles guiding this paper 1. Fundamental to this analysis is the libertarian principle of peoples’ self determination, which should never be violated for supposedly humanitarian reasons (like those invoked by the arch-criminals of the transnational elite) or pseudo-“anarchist” reasons, according to which states are not sacrosanct (see Chomsky-Part II). 2. Although it is true that states are not sacred, and social liberation is impossible unless peoples live in free confederations of their own communities securing the equal distribution of political and economic power among all citizens, national liberation is a precondition for any social liberation.

Kitty sets out on a relentless quest to find Anne Frank. It’s the beginning of an adventurous journey. SYNOPSIS WHERE IS ANNE FRANK begins with a miracle: Kitty, the imaginary friend to whom Anne Frank wrote in her famous Diary, comes to life in present-day Amsterdam. Unaware that 75 years have gone by, Kitty is convinced that if she is alive, then Anne must be alive too. WHERE IS ANNE FRANK tells the story of Kitty’s quest across contemporary Europe to find her beloved friend. Armed with the precious Diary and with help from her friend Peter, who runs a secret shelter for undocumented refugees, Kitty follows Anne’s traces, from the Annex to her tragic end in the Holocaust. Disoriented by our broken world, and the injustices that child refugees endure, Kitty wants to fulfill Anne’s cause. Through her honesty, she presents a message of hope and generosity addressed to future generations. STATEMENT FROM ANNE FRANK FONDS BASEL Shortly after Otto Frank published the Diary of his daughter Anne Frank in 1947 for the first time, he decided to have it adapted for stage and film.
